Hi shoemaker.
Fuel filter issues show up in high demand fuel needs such as passing or going up hills. Rarely do they cause rough idle problems.
Is the check engine light on or flashing? A flashing light indicates engine misfire and should be repaired as soon as possible.
So you could have a vacuum leak, a stuck EGR valve, bad ignition coil, worn spark plug, and many other items.
If you don't have a check engine light and haven't done a tune up do one to eliminate a few items and see if that smooths it out.
If you have further questions ask me and I will check and answer you.

Although is could be a fuel filter, it could also be a fouled spark plug, or a bad spark plug wire. Once you've ruled these things out, the problem could be the TPS (throttle position sensor). This controls your idling speed under all conditions. A faulty TPS will usually idle fine when the engine is cold but once warm, will tend to sputter and in some cases, stall.

Missfire

Locate you computer (right front kick panel) and tap on it with a pen while the car idles... Also flex it back and forth with your hands to see if the car runs rough or quits... You may need a new one.
